1. Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?
Fresh lemon juice is highly recommended for the best flavor, but in a pinch, bottled juice will work—just check for 100% lemon juice with no additives.
2. What type of honey is best for lemonade?
A light or mild honey like clover or wildflower works best. Stronger varieties (like buckwheat) may overpower the lemon.
3. Can I turn this into sparkling honey lemonade?
Yes! Replace some or all of the cold water with sparkling water for a fizzy version.
4. Is honey lemonade good for sore throats?
It can be! The combo of lemon and honey is soothing and hydrating, though it’s best served warm for that purpose.
5. Can I freeze this into popsicles?
Totally—pour the honey lemonade into molds and freeze for a refreshing summer treat.
As the weather warms up, honey lemonade is the ultimate sunshine sip. Pour a glass, lay out with a good summer read, and enjoy a quiet moment in the sun. Add a fun straw or a lemon wedge for that little something extra—it’s simple, refreshing, and feels like the start of summer.
